Alderweireld, who joined Tottenham after a year-long spell at Southampton, has yet to win silverware in his spell in English football.

But he is confident this Spurs side is on the brink of major success.

The north Londoners are still in the race for the Premier League title, while they face Chelsea in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday.

"With this team, and with the people working for it, we will get a trophy - 100 per cent," said Alderweireld.

"If it is not this season, then it will be the one after. We will do everything we can to make it happen this season.

“Sometimes it is all about details. Last season we didn’t win the League but we kept going. This season we already have 71 points - one more than we got in the whole of last season.

“Even with the disappointment of last season we have kept fighting, and this season we are in an even better position. Regardless of what happens during the rest of this season, we have to keep improving and get better for next season as well.

“The desire to achieve something and to get better, as a young group, is there. We want to play better than we did last season. We want to become better. It says a lot about the mental strength of the team.”
